ENHANCED SUSPENSION

ENHANCED SUSPENSION

The pleasure of driving the GS 350 has been enhanced with a complete redevelopment of the front suspension and all new rear suspension. The result has been a leap forward in driving quality, offering a feeling of composure, grip, absolute straight line and cornering stability and a connection between the driver and the car that ensures peace of mind in all driving conditions.

ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Sports Luxury model shown.

ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Active Cruise Control (ACC)13 uses a milliwave radar to monitor vehicles ahead and adjusts acceleration to match their speed. ACC can even use the brakes to slow the vehicle down. When the vehicle ahead leaves your lane, ACC will smoothly increase the acceleration to resume the speed you had previously set.

DRIVE MODE SELECT

F Sport model shown.

DRIVE MODE SELECT

Customise your driving experience depending on your mood and the driving conditions with Drive Mode Select. NORMAL mode is used for regular driving conditions. ECO mode changes the climate control performance, seat heater control and throttle/engine response for better fuel economy. SPORT mode offers more aggressive powertrain control while SPORT+ delivers this control along with a sportier chassis response for a truly heart-racing drive. The lighting of the instrumentation changes depending on the mode selected, with a calm blue for ECO or NORMAL mode and an exciting red glow when SPORT or SPORT+ is activated.

SAFETY

The GS 350 is built upon a foundation of intuitive safety. The vehicle anticipates and quickly responds to potential danger and, in the event of a collision, helps protect the occupants of the vehicle.

Sports Luxury model shown. All images shown are pre-production models. Australian model range and specifications are subject to final confirmation by Lexus Australia and may differ from those shown.

FOR THE FIRST TIME ON AN AUSTRALIAN LEXUS VEHICLE, ALL GS VEHICLES COME STANDARD WITH A TYRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM.

INTEGRATED SAFTEY SYSTEM

Sports Luxury model shown.

INTEGRATED SAFTEY SYSTEM

Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) integrates safety systems like Anti-skid Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control (TRC) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), allowing them to 'talk' to each other so they activate earlier for a smoother, less intrusive operation. This intuitive technology allows you to focus on the pleasure of the journey, reassured by the enhanced safety and improved handling of the GS 350.

SAFETY SYSTEM OFFERS PEACE OF MIND

Overseas Sports Luxury model shown.

SAFETY SYSTEM OFFERS PEACE OF MIND

The Pre-Collision safety System (PCS)13 intelligently combines both preventative and collision safety functions to predict collisions and reduce collision-related injuries. The use of a radar sensor enables the system to detect the presence of an obstacle or vehicle on the road ahead, predict a collision and alert the driver. At the same time, the activation of safety features can help minimise collision related injuries should a collision occur.

Available on Sports Luxury and F Sport Enhancement packs, Lane Keep Assist (LKA)6 detects the white lane markers with cameras and should the vehicle ever drift out of the lane, uses Electric Power Steering (EPS) to gently nudge the vehicle back on course.

A NEW LEVEL OF SAFETY

A NEW LEVEL OF SAFETY

The reassuringly intuitive nature of the GS 350 is further highlighted with the Lexus first of a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)6, standard across all GS 350 grades. The BSM is intelligently designed to reduce the chance of an accident during lane changes by using radar sensors mounted in the rear bumper corners to detect vehicles in areas only partially viewable by the rear view mirrors. When a vehicle or motorbike (125cc or larger) approaches in the next lane and is in a potential blind spot, an LED indicator in the exterior mirror will illuminate to warn you.

A COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY SUITE

Sports Luxury model shown.

A COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY SUITE

The safety inclusions in the GS 350 harness advanced technology to protect the vehicle's occupants and enhance the overall driving experience. Emergency brake lights flash at high speed after sudden braking at speeds above 55km/h to alert drivers behind you, allowing them to break sooner. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)6 can hold the brakes for two seconds after the brake pedal is released or until the accelerator is depressed, while the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is engaged automatically in 'Auto' mode when the driver shifts into 'Park' for greater safety and convenience.

TYRE PRESSURE WARNING

Sports Luxury model shown.

TYRE PRESSURE WARNING

For the first time on an Australian Lexus vehicle, all GS vehicles come standard with a Tyre Pressure Warning System. A sensor mounted to each tyre's valve assists in detecting a dangerous loss of pressure, with an illuminated warning light in the instrumentation alerting the driver.

REAR VIEW CAMERA

F Sports model shown.

REAR VIEW CAMERA

A wide angle Rear View Camera (RVC)6, with multiple Rear Guide Assist (RGA)6 options, improves safety and simplifies parking. The rear of the vehicle is projected onto the multimedia display with graphics that move with the steering wheel to predict the path the vehicle will take while reversing.

AIRBAGS THAT SURROUND AND PROTECT

Overseas Sports Luxury model shown.

AIRBAGS THAT SURROUND AND PROTECT

With 10 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags as standard, both the driver and passengers are afforded extra protection in the event of an accident. The GS 350 also comes equipped with a glovebox-mounted front passenger knee airbag, ensuring extra legroom without compromising on safety. In addition, a world first design has been utilised for the passenger front airbag allowing for a concave dash which enhances spaciousness.

INTERIOR

The first thing you will notice in the GS 350 is the sense of space, with luxury finishes that remind you you're in a truly special vehicle. A 'human orientated design' for the cockpit means you will intuitively find everything you need at your fingertips.

SAFER, INTUITIVE DRIVING

F Sport model shown with Enhancement Pack 1.

SAFER, INTUITIVE DRIVING

The 'human orientated design' philosophy of L-finesse has resulted in the dash and centre console being divided into 'Display' and 'Operation' zones, with the Operation zone centred around the Lexus Remote Touch (LRT) controller. This clever design allows the driver to confidently control the vehicle with a natural posture and minimal movement of their body and eyes, making for a more comfortable, intuitive and safer drive.

FULL-FEATURED LUXURY

Sports Luxury shown.

FULL-FEATURED LUXURY

The list of standard inclusions in the GS 350 will surprise and delight those who are used to paying more for a full-featured luxury vehicle. Easy entry is provided to the vehicle with the driver's seat and steering wheel automatically adjusted upon entry and exit. Once seated, 18-way adjustable front seats in the F Sport and 20-way adjustable seats in the Sports Luxury, both ventilated and heated, ensure a supremely comfortable ride.

The full colour Head Up Display (HUD) meanwhile offers important information about the vehicle projected onto the windscreen glass, and appears to be positioned two metres in front of the driver, minimising eye movement and distraction from the road. The Satellite Navigation System4 includes live traffic alerts5 to make planning your journey easier while an anti-theft system, which includes an immobiliser, vehicle tilt sensor and intrusion sensor, provides reassurance.

A DISTINCTIVE DESIGN EVOLUTION

A DISTINCTIVE DESIGN EVOLUTION

Powerful, distinctive and commanding are three words that could be used to describe the new spindle grille of the GS 350. Designed to appeal to individuals with a refined sense of style, the vehicle's sporting pedigree is immediately apparent. The spindle grille is one design feature among many that makes this luxury sports sedan stand out from the crowd.

DAYTIMERUNNINGLIGHTS FOR ENHANCED SAFETY

Overseas Sports Luxury model shown.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS FOR ENHANCED SAFETY

Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), which consist of nine bright LEDs styled in a Lexus arrowhead design at the lower edge of the front headlights, help make the vehicle highly visible to both pedestrians and other vehicles. Particularly effective at dawn and dusk when light levels are low and there is glare from the rising or setting sun, DRLs help reduce the chance of an accident. And, in a Lexus first, the DRLs offer a welcome to the driver, illuminating briefly when the vehicle is unlocked at night. It's just another example of no detail being too small for the passionate Lexus designers in their pursuit of perfection.

BI-XENON HID HEADLIGHTS

Overseas Sports Luxury model shown.

BI-XENON HID HEADLIGHTS

Incorporating the advanced technological aspects of L-finesse, the front headlights ensure an ample field of view for confident night driving. Highly directional Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights use a single bulb for both high and low beam, compared to a conventional system where separate bulbs are used for high and low beam, so light is projected a greater distance. In addition, there is a 63% reduction in power usage compared to the previous generation GS. The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) features headlights that swivel left and right in response to steering and vehicle speed, directing light around the upcoming bend which helps you see around corners.

FOUR DOOR SMART ENTRY AND START

Overseas Sports Luxury model shown.

FOUR DOOR SMART ENTRY AND START

With the Smart Key or Smart Key Card in your pocket or bag, as you approach the vehicle you can open all four doors or the boot simply by gripping the handle or touching the boot release. Once inside the GS 350, Smart Start is a convenient driver-focused feature that allows the engine start button to be activated provided the key is within the vehicle.

19" ALLOYWHEELS

19" ALLOY WHEELS

Adding to the strong, sporty appearance of the GS 350, 19" F Sport alloy wheels express a commanding look. The striking design is just another way, among many others, that the GS 350 distinguishes itself from other vehicles on the road.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

Sports Luxury model shown.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

Every exterior feature on the GS 350 has been painstakingly planned to create a vehicle that is not only aesthetically thrilling but that also utilises intelligent technology to make the experience of driving this vehicle feel peerless. Whether it's self-restoring paint which can restore itself when scratched11, mirrors that automatically dim when they are dazzled by headlights, right through to an eight head Clearance and Reversing Sonar10 which increases the ease of parking while reducing the risk of damage, the GS 350 is for those who demand the highest automotive standards.
